In wisdom You made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures. 25 There is the vast and spacious sea, teeming with creatures beyond number, living things both large and small. 26 There the ships go to and fro, and Leviathan, which You formed to frolic there. 27 All creatures look to You to give them their food at the proper time. 28 When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things. 29 When You hide Your face, they are terrified; when You take away their breath, they die and return to the dust. 30 When You send forth Your Spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth. 31 May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in His works. 32 He gazes at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke. 33 I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I live. 34 May my meditation be pleasing to Him; as for me, I will rejoice in the LORD. 35 May sinners vanish from the earth, and may the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, my soul. Hallelujah!
